Question 10

Can I drive in Machala with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Ecuador, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
